graduation on the campus of temple university. that will bring extra volume on broad street around 11:30. the mass transit looking good with no delays, chris and lauren, back to you. developing in north philadelphia, so many questions after a four year-old dies in the shooting. >> that four year-old a little girl playing inside of her home when she was shot in the head, steve keeley has the very latest on this, steve. >> reporter: just time to be compassion but also a time to be tough and last year, 60 times, kids under three, got a hold of an unsecured gun left somewhere where it shouldn't be by an adult. whether it is legal or illegal gun and the shot themselves or another child. that is underage three. this girl has a three-year old sister but was aged four. federal authorities here across the street from philadelphia police headquarters helping trace this 40 cool ber semiautomatic glock that was left inside this north philadelphia home where 49 year-old was shot

point blank in the face with it. key questions are obvious questions and the questions that have been asked before: where apparently not everyone learns from the awful deadly mistakes in these answers because we have seen children killed inside their own homes in philadelphia, too many times, before and in the the too recently. north 20th street yesterday afternoon, right in the middle of the day, lunch hour 2:30 young mother hears and loud shot and find her four year-old bleeding badly in the bedroom, runs her outside and waiting for an ambulance screaming for help. >> after seeing her coming out with the baby crying saying please help me, save my daughter. i ran to her and said what is wrong? she got shot. she said save my baby please. i got the chills. then she went inside, i grab the little girl. she said she got shot, she got shot. next thing i'm trying to call police, dial my phone, 911 and i ran in the clinic to get security guard and all of the

nurses came out running over here. the girl was gasping for her. blood was coming out of her nose and everything. the ambulance and cops came. >> reporter: shot in one of her eyes, this four year-old was pronounced dead almost instantly at 1:01 p.m. moments after being rush there. her three-year old sister was not the hurt. their 25 year old mother here was here at police headquarters for several hours, family members pick her up, covered up her head and face and walk her past the media. imagine having to do your job as a homicide detective while being a compassionate parent yourself having to ask a distraught emotional young mother those tough questions where were you when this happened? whose gun was it? where was its kept? how did your four year-old find it and fire it. we will likely hear some of those answers from police on the record, later today, this gun is being traced and obviously if the mother told the police that it was not hers then detective would be wanting to talk to the owner

and tell them who he or she got it from, where was it kept, why did you have it and police will update us on the record later today and we will learn if that gun was legally owned and by whom once they find out for sure, chris and lauren. >> steve keeley, such a sad story. thanks very much. huge story developing overseas, breaking news, david cameron says he will resign by october. he said next prime minister would decide when to invoke article 50 which triggers a departure from the european union. britain voted to leave european union of a divisive referendum campaign toppling the british government setting the global market in free fall. it launches a process to renegotiate trade, business and political links between the united kingdom and what will be a 27 nation block, unprecedented, it could take decades to complete. david cameron has only been in office for 14 months. huge referendum on him.

we will see whether happens with his conservative party. they are coming together, here in philadelphia, and fans are celebrating, right dave kinchen. >> that is right, the sixers, they have their guy, ben simmons, is he the answer they have been looking for? a lot of the fans sure think so. we will hear from the new forward for the sixers, coming up but first bob. >> good morning, dave. good morning everybody. tgif as we get ready for a week even, where we will head north up to quakertown, we will head south, i should say down toward the jersey shore. we have a tractor trailer accident in center city. here's a live look at the blue route, hello there, take care we will be right back.

today the viewing for akyra murray begins at 8:00 a.m. followed by the funeral at ten. eight year-old was on vacation, two weeks ago, in orlando after graduating from west catholic prep. akyra was shot inside the pulse nightclub with her cousin tiara parker and their friend patients carter. both of the other two girls survived. he was known as a warrior against the fight of animal cruelty. today family and friend and people in the animal rights community will say final good byes to george bengal the pennsylvania spca long time director died after a battle with mesothelioma at the age of 69. george's determination to save

suffering animals has been chronicle on animal planet and national geographic. leaves behind his wife carroll after 35 years. george will be laid to rest this morning at 11:00 o'clock. just trying to get shelter from the rain this local man lines up victim of the brutal attack, beaten, and who police are now looking for. giving people options based on their budget is pretty edgy...
